In my talk I will briefly walk you through my career development from my native country Croatia, via France, Denmark, Sweden and USA and I will explain what I wanted to achieve in my career: why and how I made the decisions that I did, and how those have served me. I will select a few main learnings that can be used as advice for everyone. I will use the example of my current job as the Chief Science Officer, Chief Partnerships Officer and Senior Executive Advisor to the Provost to explain how I work in the context of my union (EU), country (Denmark), in the context of my University (Technical University of Denmark) and the context of my research center (Center for Biosustainability), and how hopefully it all comes together to benefit the world.
